Series 11 of American Horror Story. This totally passed me by, so eventually started on it a couple of nights ago. This time it's called American Horror Story - NYC, set in the 80s and focuses on a string of killings involving gay men and the emergence of a new virus. Russell Tovey is excellent as a gay New York cop with a perfect American accent and it's a seedy romp in typical AHS fashion. Only a few of the recurring actors have shown up so far (4 eps in), so no Evan Peter or Sarah Paulson (as yet). It's good so far and I'm intrigued to see how this plays out.

Creeped Out (UK/Canada — 2017-2019 — 2 seasons / 23 episodes): Like Silverpoint which I (shortly) reviewed here, this is also a very smart series for the kids. I honestly envy the British children and teens here. Creepy while also being informative and possibly positively transformative for the youth. This is like The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror were mashed up for the youngsters. Tales of the Unexpected also crossed my mind while watching this one. A top-notch Netflix series which could entertain people of all ages. 9/10

currently watching The Contractor (Cristoph Waltz), very enjoyable, Waltz is a hoot!

The excitement builds as we get nearer the return of Succession for Season 4. I've also been watching the excellent Yellowstone and can't help notice the similarities. Both have legendary Hollywood actors playing strong patriarchal characters struggling to pass on their business concerns to their inadequately qualified children. In both cases they have 3 sons and a daughter and again in both cases the daughter is the smartest of the siblings. Very weird coincidences in my mind. Succession also has an IMDB rating of 8.8 while Yellowstone is 8.7. 

I'm watching all 7 seasons of Adam-12. It's a show I haven't seen since I was a kid and I'm enjoying it immensely.

Meet The Chippendales 

I'm enjoying Shrinking a lot, from the producers of Ted Lasso (returning this Wednesday) it has many of the same ingredients with likeable characters stumbling along trying to get through the day. Nice cameo from AHS's Lily Rabe as the daughter of Harrison Ford's very grumpy 'old man'. Think there are still 2 episodes to come so will be interesting to compare with Ted Lasso as they overlap.

^Thanks, it's my next show top watch as the final episode has now aired (I rarely start a show until all eps are out). However, my TV viewing has been stymied somewhat as my wife has started series 10 of Married at First Site Australia - which runs for 30 odd one hour episodes. Geez, it's painful to watch.

My only reservation -its exactly the same set up as The Mandalorian and even the same lead actor Pedro Pascal. Basically about 2 characters , one old and one young, who become tied together in trying to save the world (or Universe in the case of the Mandalorian). It is such a weird coincidence to not only have the same idea but then cast exactly the same actor! Still good though. 9/10 Good post apocalypse type show.....Pascal and the young actress are very good.
